"One of the slug ships must know something about this advanced cruiser. Perhaps you can 'convince' them to tell you."

Layout A[]

Slug Cruiser A

"Designed for use inside nebula, this cruiser lacks sensors and relies instead on the guile and cunning of the Slugs."

Unlock
See the Slug Home Nebula Surrender random event.

Layout B[]

Slug Cruiser B

"This boarding ship has no medical facilities and must manage its explosives carefully to keep the crew alive."

The Stormwalker starts with a teleporter but lacks a medbay, resulting in reliance on the Healing Burst to heal crew members.

Unlock
Earning two of the three Slug Cruiser achievements will unlock Layout B.


Layout C[]

Slug Cruiser C

"Slugs are often skilled in the arts of misdirection and manipulation. With Hacking and Mind Control systems, this ship capitalizes on that fact."

  • Default name: Ariolimax
SlugCSystems

The Ariolimax starts with Hacking and Mind Control, making it effective at disrupting an enemy ship.

Trivia[]

  • Man of War:
    • The name could be a reference to the Portuguese man o' war, a dangerous jellyfish-like creature given the ship does look like a jellyfish.
    • Man of War is also the name of British Royal Navy expression for a powerful warship or frigate from the 16th to the 19th century.
  • The Stormwalker: given that Slugs live in Nebulas the name could be a reference to the fact that this ship is made to go through such Nebulas.
  • Ariolimax is the genus of the banana slug.
